When I was 14, my uncle punch in the eye and popped my eye cell. My family told me:

“He, your uncle, forgive him.”

Why should a teenage girl be more responsible than a grown man in his 30s?

My brother and I got in a physical fight because he kept dirtying our room, but

“He your blood.”

So what, I have to keep cleaning my room since I am a girl.

Your husband kept opening the door every time I was changing, and I yelled at him, but

You're mad at me? When your husband is a pedophile.

But it okay since,

“Family is all I have”,

But “they're your family”,

“Blood is thicker than water.”

I’m just tired of holding it in and saying it “Okay.”

Why are we angry black woman for holding people responsible for their actions?

This thread was posted here upon its trailer release and I wanted to confirm that I do believe it is an Oscar contender especially for Kara Young, Sterling Brown, the screenwriter and cinematographer.

I had the honor and privilege of attending and advanced screening. I saw the trailer several months ago and didn’t really know what it was about but was drawn to it and knew I needed to see it.

Phew! Was I in for a treat. I am a filmmaker myself so I watch everything from a filmmaker lens.

From the script and dialogue to the casting (especially the family casting wow), the ACTING, the production design, costumes, intonations. I was blown away. The cast and crew did a phenomenal job and I hope this film gets the love and praise it deserves.
